yes, exactly that

I just love the headline with the little undertitle 😁

Afaik from some folks who claim to have dug through the protocol: the protocol is needlessly complex with some very important parts of the network very unlikely to be decentralized (I think that was called relays) as it requires massive computing ressources.

The benefits of ActivityPub is that it is really really simple (basically just standardized json). Yes it has scaling issues, but those are solvable and partly just a sideeffect of actually being federated

there is !AskMbin@thebrainbin and also the matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org if you need mbin specific help in the future :)

Schade dass in dem Artikel nicht die unzähligen Milliarden an umweltschädlichen Subventionen erwähnt werden die man abbauen könnte…

I think a lot of artists are on https://mastodon.art

Thats literally the first thing I missed from Unity. Hope it lands soon 🙏

Don’t forget the PHP crew. Mbin and Pixelfed lets go 😁

Organuc Maps and Osmand are working well for me. Using Gmail with K9 Mail for example would still work, but you should definitely not use the Gmail App (which probably wont even work) Installing Google Play apps works flawlessly worh aurora, but In App purchases and payed apps are not supported

Yeah true… :/

That is unfortunate… And you really can’t import it?

Fairphone + iodeOS. You can buy it with it preinstalled, so no fiddeling with the bootloader if you dont want to

Just for the people interested in mbin, here are a few magazine/community pointers:

I am part of the mbin team and I am really tired of hearing shittalking about us without any reason. Nobody has any reason to call us anything but passionate.

When melroy started the fork, really weird accusations were thrown around without being based on anything…

AP has a tool for that called inbox forwarding and mastodon uses it for sharing the comments under posts. It works like this: you send a reply to a user with their follower collection as the recipient. You of course cannot know who is following that user, however they than just forward this reply to the follower collection, because the server knows that it has authority over that collection. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox-forwarding

Its not really a “not playing well” with each other, it is just the mastodon works. That is the reason why most toots in my mastodon timeline have 0 favourites (upvotes) and only a few boosts… I don’t know why they do it, because at the minimum the followers of that user should be notified about that like…

I promise that I will never just suddenly vanish unless I actually die 😅

I actually have a LiberaPay, Patreon and Kofi page and only 3 people have donated so far. And those accounts are also used to take donations for my 2 mbin servers and my mid sized mastodon server (>100 “real” MAU)…

Your already helping a lot by helping other admins ❤️
